Benchmark Scorecard

Observable, source-backed metrics. No inferred grades or quality scores.

Employer Contribution / Participant
$1,433
vs $852 National Median
Above Median Nationally

The lagging confirmation of plan health. Below median signals under-investment in workforce retention — the dollar has yet to follow the leading active-saver signal.

Participant Contribution / Participant
$5,394
vs $3,435 National Median
Top 25% Nationally

The leading signal of plan engagement. A rising trajectory precedes the lagging employer-contribution dollar; below median can signal gaps in auto-enrollment or plan design.

Plan Assets / Participant
$51,019
vs $48,309 National Median
Above Median Nationally

How seasoned the workforce is. Below national median can also indicate higher-than-needed employee turnover.

Employer Contributions
$113,230
Latest source filing

Total annual employer contribution from the latest DOL filing.

Plan Assets
$4.0M
Latest source filing

The retirement pool employees are building. Larger pools reflect longer-tenured workforces.
